Cannot locate cd configuration folder???????

when i open i tunes i get a message saying 'itunes cannot locate cd configuration folder, it should be in the same directory as itunes. you will not be able to import or burn cds and dvds'. I have no idea what this folder is and i dont know how it could have moved.
Can anyone help fix this please?????

"iTunes cannot locate CD Configuration folder, so you cannot import or burn CDs and DVDs. This folder must be in the same directory as iTunes."
experimental advice coming up.
that folder should be in the C:\Program Files\iTunes\ folder. can you see it in there?
if so, while itunes is closed, try dragging that folder to the desktop. reboot the PC and do a repair install of itunes. go into your Add/Remove, select iTunes, click "Change" and click "Repair".
does a new CD Configuration folder get generated? if so, does iTunes launch without the error message?

  • ITunes Warning: "iTunes cannot locate CD configuration folder..."

    I recently moved my iTunes and music library to an externally hard drive to make room on my laptop. I am now getting this iTunes Warning..."iTunes cannot locate the cd configuration folder, so you cannot imoport or burn cd's and dvd's. This folder must be in the same directory as iTunes." As a complete tech idiot, what do i do here?

  • Genius can compile list but cannot locate songs from folder, any tips, sorry if this is posted twice, I'm very new

    Hi All
    Another atttempt at question, I'm new at this
    New computer, downloaded Itunes 10.5 imported songs from old folder from portable harddrive, all's well music plays, genius can compile list but can"t locate files from folder, I can do it 1 by 1 but it's very slow any suggestions
    regards
    Richard
    thanks

    I'm not certain, but it sounds like you are describing missing file syndrome where tracks show up with exclamation marks...
    This normally happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. It may be a by-product of the way you moved the library. Other possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location.

    Hi, guys
    I cannot view delegate mailbox in Outlook. Following is my configure.
    I have two mailbox A-User and B-User
    Login Outlook as A-User, click File -> Account Settings -> Delegate Access, add B-User and give Editor permission of Inbox.
    Right click A-User's root inbox and select Properties -> Permission, select B-User and check "Folder visible".
    Login Outlook as B-User on other computer, click File -> Account Settings -> Account Settings, select B-User and click Change -> More Settings -> Advanced, add A-User.
    Now I can see a root A-User in Navigation Pane. But when I click it, it shows
    "Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location."
    or
    "Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location. The operation failed. An object cannot be found".
    I searched some solutions from internet, but all of them don't work. Could you give some suggestions? 
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    First, please double check if you have given the right permission to B-User on your step 2.
    In addition, we can try to give a higher permission to the B-user to check the result.
    Please feel free to post back and let me know the result.

  • Locating the CD Configuration Folder

    I recently upgraded and moved my iTunes and music folder into a new remote hard drive to save myself the worry should my laptop ever be stolen.
    However, during the process I apparently copied the file folders incorrectly and "iTunes cannot locate the CD Configuration folder, so you cannot import or burn CDs and DVDs. This folder must be in the same directory as iTunes."
    I have found and put the Config folder into the same directory as iTunes with no result.
    I have also attempted to repair iTunes in my remote drive by downloading a new version (though this goes straight to my laptop's c: drive.
    Any suggestions?

  • Error from iTunes Setup Asst -- iTunes cannot locate the CD Config folder

    It says: iTunes cannot locate the CD Configuration folder, so you cannot import or burn CDs and DVD's. This folder must be in the same directory as iTunes.
    Because of space issues, I moved iTunes to run off of a portable hard drive (it's a silver iomega 100 GB drive, if it matters). I had to uninstall and reinstall iTunes and import the old library into iTunes to get it to work, but now it's giving me the error.
    I just imported music from a disc, so that works actually, but when I try to burn a disc, it says "disc burner or software not found." I'm flummoxed.

  • Need Help! "Could not locate the resource file in the Configuration folder."

    I had just purchased and installed Adobe Crerative Design Suite last night. Every program works except Dreamweaver, which gives me the error message:"Could not locate the resource file in the Configuration folder. This File is required to run Dreamweaver. Please reinstall the application". I am suspicious because the was a previous version of Dreamweaver on the computer before this installation, but I unistalled it. I do not understand why I get this message. Is there a file somewhere that is missing or at faut. How can I remedy this? Thanks
    ~Todd

    Nadia,
    Your posted resources worked for me. Thank you! After many attempts (to include Adobe's overseas call canter) to resolve the same installation and run errors, I used your suggested steps and I finally have a clean and running install. I did have to take a few extra steps;
    First I downloaded both Cleaning  scripts. For CS4 & CS3.
    Next I downloaded Windows installer/cleaner. I have Windows Vista Home Premium and that is a required installed program to run Adobe's cleaning script.
    Once I was sure I had all the programs/scripts I needed (per your instructions and the instructions found on the Cleaning scripts site) I disconnected my computer from the Internet.
    Then I disabled all running programs especially all Anti-virus and firewall programs and any others that have calls of any kind: i.e. Boinc (Seti), Skype, email programs (Windows Live Mail), etc.
    Next I uninstalled all CS4 products and even though I was told that Macromedia Studio MX 2004 can stay installed (read that on one site and the overseas Tech also reinforced that information) I uninstalled MX 2004.
    I then rebooted and installed the Windows installer/cleaner program and ran the Adobe CS4 cleaner script twice.
    After another reboot I installed Dreamweaver CS4 first, rebooted (can't reboot enough with Windows!) and, yes you guessed it, rebooted.
    I then attempted to open Dreamweaver CS4 and for the first time it ran without the error!
    I then installed Adobe Ps CS4 and rebooted and that work for the first time as well.
    I can't say for sure if Macromedia Studio MX 2004 caused the install errors on the Adobe products but without it and ALL that uninstalling and rebooting and running cleaning scripts and installing and rebooting, Adobe finally felt my computer was clean enough to call it home and work.
    Thank you again for your information and I suggest if anyone else finds their way here that they follow your instructions to the letter. Takes a long time but a proper and clean install will be the result.

  • "Could not locate the Resources file in the Configuration folder"

    While opening DW cs5 on my iMac OS X 10.7.5 a window came up that says:  "Could not locate the Resources file in the Configuration folder. This file is required to run Dreamweaver. Please reinstall the application."
    After downloading and reinstalling Adobe Creative Suite CS5 yesterday per the instruction of Adobe tech support, the application still had the same message when I attempt to open it.  Not sure where else to turn.  Please advise.  Thanks

  • Ever since upgrading to Yosemite on my Mac, I can only configure my time capsule via iPhone.  My Mac cannot locate for backup, but CAN find as my internet router.  I have followed all suggestions I can locate and have upgraded to newest version.

    Time Capsule in Yosemite can be used for router/internet but Mac cannot locate for backups.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
